This post might explain a little about the speedo signal. There is reference to it, in this post as not being an analogue signal. Link  Author  Post     mat1600  Thunderbird Reg.

Trying to find out if I can connect the speedo wire from the amp to power or if it is compatible with the Triumph speedo wire signal. Also if this hook up will affect the speedo on my bike.   Where is the speedo sensor on the bike. I'm installing a sound system that has a connection for it.

I don't have ABS but it is probably in the same spot. I did fid a wire connection with the three color codes that the sensor has by the fuse box. I might use that but I would still like to find out if it will affect my speedo.   Where is the speedo sensor on the bike. I'm installing a sound system that has a connection for it.

The CanBus (like a LAN) carries all of the signals from all of the different sensors... mixed together. Each sensor signal has a unique identifier that the ECU recognizes. You, however, cannot just grab the speedo signal without a magic black box... and that doesn't exist yet for the Thunderbird. And, on the T-Bird, both ABS and non-ABS have the CanBus data system. On a prior bike I had, the CanBus was a bugger... and you learned really quick not to fool around with anything that could affect the sensor signals to the ECU.   ________________________ Post edited by ataDude on 25 Apr 2011 - 21:33  Author  Post     Bon76Tbird10  Set Reg.

I hooked up the power the same way that Speed Bird did on his bike, behind the relays. Use the pink-yellow wire from the connection by the fuse box. For the speedo feed on the amp. The sound system works as it should, changing volume with speed. And nothing was compromised.   Where is the speedo sensor on the bike. I'm installing a sound system that has a connection for it.
